For most of my life, I was a user, a consumer of
Drugs and Alcohol and other destructive behaviors.
When you are in that state, the mantra becomes:
“Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow”
Which I adopted wholeheartedly.
Procrastination became my middle name, and life
Passed me up like a river flowing past a dump.
When I began regaining some sense of Sanity
And Reason, I changed to “if it needs doing,
DO IT NOW” and I went that way for several years;
So that in 2017 when I began losing my mobility due
To the degradation of my hip, and I became more
and more sedentary and in more and more pain;
My “anti procrastination” theme fell by the wayside
(as did my total abstinence from booze, unfortunately).
It is still an ongoing battle, but now with the
Quarantine/Shutdown, enforced idleness has
Regenerated this procrastination, to the point now,
I have a few things to do, getting plants ready to come
In for the winter for instance, yet I walk from
Room to Room, thinking “I need to do this” or
“I need to do that”, then ending up doing
NOTHING.
Procrastination is a cancer.
Don't let it take hold of you.
If it needs doing,
DO IT NOW!
